I'm a HUGE advocate for public transportation.
Nice Same here, although I'd sell out my principles for a gas-guzzling Focus ST any day (which wouldn't be very smart, what with gas costing about 6€ a gallon over here). Big advocate of bicycles and public transportation too. If you really consider enviromental repercussions the deciding factor in your purchase then I'd go for an Aygo, and if you're lucky you'll also get a 1000€/$ discount on it from the government (here certain cars get subsidies, don't know bout the States though), plus it's cheap in maintenance, Toyota's simply don't break down, ever
